Ok I'm going to give this answer to Paul, now Brethren in Christ if you are a Baptist/Anabaptist (I kind of think of Brethren as Bap/AnaBap anyway) then let me know and I'll give you equal blessings for your answer too.
This one was a little tricky because the answer could vary depending on who you are (sort of). So here is the answer (as I was looking for it)...
Innocence
Man ate the forbidden fruite and in his self-made autonomy rebelled against God.
Conscience or Moral Responsibility
1. Cain failed to bring the prescribed offering (Gen.4:4)
2. The committing of murder (Gen.4:8)
3. The rise of a Godless civilization (Gen. 4:17-24)
4. The intermarriage of the Godly and ungoldy (Gen. 6:1-2)
5. The filling of the earth with wickedness and violence (Gen 6:5,11)
Civil Government or Human Rule
1. Noah became drunk and lost his sensibilities to rule for God (for a time at least) (Gen 9:21) (this one is a little... iffy but it's a textbook one)
2. Man attempted to build a monolithic one-world instead of scattering and ruling for God (Gen 11:1-9) (This, I think, is the real failure in this disp.)
Promise
1. Personal failure in the lives of the patriarchs (this view does not see a climactic failure but general failure in their personal lives. These are: Abraham's lying and unbelief in Egypt and Gerar, Isaac's duplicity in Gerar; Jacob's lying and stealing, especially with reference to Esau; Abraham's unbelief regarding a son and his wish for Ishmael, etc.
2. A climactic failure in going to Egypt and eventually being in slavery and bondage (Gen 26:1-5). Gen 46:1-4 is taken to be the permissive will of God.
Law
Israel went about trying to establish their own righteousness and did not submit to the righteousness of God (Rom. 10:1-3)
Grace
Failure is seen in individuals but especially in the great apostasy which grows and enlarges toward the end of the church age, and which culminates in the appearance and universal acceptance of the Man of Sin after the rapture.
Kingdom
Satan is loosed at the end of the millennium and an unnumbered multitude will follow him (Rev 20:8)
